After 40 Million Downloads, IMDb's Apps Get a Major Overhaul

IMDb, most people's go-to place to resolve any movie or TV-related trivia beefs, today announced that their iOS and Android apps have been downloaded a whopping 40 million times.

With the announcement of that milestone, IMDb has also updated their iOS and Android apps to include a slew of new features, including a major push toward social interaction.

Today, IMDb ushers in the age of the check-in, incorporating a Get Glue-type feature where users can log their media-viewing activity. Those check-ins are tied to Facebook and Twitter, so you can let your friends know exactly what you're watching and why they should be watching it as well.

Along with those social features comes access to the IMDb message boards where you can sound off about your favorite films, TV episodes, and troll the depths to your heart's desire.
